Chapter 167: Collaborating with the Great Detectives to Attack the Apostle of Desire

If it were in the past, Derrick would have gladly accepted the reward and sincerely thanked the Chief.

But Derrick, who had matured a lot, noticed that there was something wrong with the Chief's tone, and he put emphasis on the words "reward" and "keep it safe."

At this moment, Derrick suddenly recalled the scene when he reported to the Chief that he had found the Sealed Object in the swamp. At that time, the Chief seemed to have known that the Sealed Object was not found by him.

Then a bold guess came to Derrick's mind: The Chief might want me to give this seal to the person who actually discovered the demigod-level seal, to express Silver City's gratitude!

Yes, that must be it.

Derrick soon confirmed his idea, because the merits he had obtained could be exchanged for a sequence 7 level main material, and there was still some left.

For an exploration mission, this is already a very high reward, and it is impossible to give myself any other rewards.

Chief Colin did not urge him, but waited quietly for Derrick to ponder.

After a long while, Derrick considered and said, "Thank you, Chief. I will... I will keep it."

Colin nodded with satisfaction: "Go ahead."

Derrick put away the seal and quickly left the round tower.

However, to be on the safe side, he planned to wait a few days at the Tarot Club and ask Mr. "The Hanged Man" or Mr. "The Hermit" for their opinions before taking further action.

…

Backlund, 15 Minsk Street.

In the carriage, Odysseus touched the soil and grape branches in his pocket again. He had collected them in the afternoon specifically for use in finding the devil.

Of course, ordinary "fortune tellers" cannot use only these cursed objects to find the demon that cast the curse, but Klein, who has the "Source Castle", can.

After opening the door and getting off the carriage, Odysseus suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him, but with his spiritual sense, he did not sense any danger.

Odysseus didn't care too much. He walked to the door and rang the doorbell.

Ding-ling, ding-ling~

Odysseus waited for a few seconds. The light in the room was on and there were sounds inside, but no one opened the door.

Just as Odysseus was about to ring the doorbell again, the door was suddenly opened. The person who opened the door was a strange man with a beard and a thin build.

He asked with a wary look on his face: "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

Especially after seeing that the visitor was wearing a mask, the man took a step back and put one hand on his waist, as if he was ready to draw his gun at any time.

"I'm looking for Detective Sherlock." Odysseus suddenly had a bad feeling: "If he's not here, I'll come and see him tomorrow."

"Mr. Gall!" Just as Odysseus turned around and left, Detective Sherlock Moriarty, also known as Klein, came out of the living room and said to the man at the door, "Stuart, please let Mr. Gall in."

Odysseus had no choice but to go in. He saw several people in the living room, both men and women, all looking at him with vigilance.

Odysseus seemed to have guessed something, and smiled bitterly under his mask: "You guys have a party today?"

"No," Klein had also come to the door. He did not hide anything: "We have investigated a serial murder case before and helped the police find the murderer.

"But what no one expected was that there was a mastermind behind the murderer. We all received threatening letters from the mastermind, so we gathered together to discuss countermeasures."

Odysseus smiled and said, "Sorry, I have something else to do. See you tomorrow."

Klein, however, was blocking the doorway, showing no intention of giving way. He smiled and said, "Things are not as dangerous as you think. Please come with me to the living room and sit down. We really need your help."

Odysseus took a deep breath and said, "Okay then."

He remembered that there were many official extraordinary people waiting around here today, so there was indeed no danger.

Then Odysseus realized: No wonder he felt the atmosphere outside was weird when he got off the carriage. It turned out that he was surrounded by official Beyonders.

Coming to the living room inside the living room, there were two people there, a man and a woman.

The man was an old man with gray hair and a thin face. He was wearing a black windbreaker, and his left shoulder was bulging high, as if there was a thick bandage wrapped inside.

The woman had thick eyebrows, was wearing a gray tweed coat, and the muscles on her face were slightly sagging.

Odysseus lifted his hat slightly and said, "Hello."

The old man with gray hair on his temples smiled and said, "Mr. Gal! I've heard of your great name for a long time."

The woman also praised sincerely: "The protector of street girls."

Odysseus sighed, "I didn't expect I had such a nickname."

Klein closed the door and introduced, "This lady is Detective Kaslana, and this is Detective Eisinger Stanton."

Odysseus nodded slightly and said again: "Hello."

"Maybe we don't have time for small talk." Klein said, "Please take a seat. I'll tell Mr. Gal about the current situation."

After everyone was seated, Klein said, "We are all Beyonders, so there is no need to explain some common sense things.

"The serial killer is a 'demon'. Mr. Gal, do you know anything about the Beyonders of this path?"

Isengard and Kaslana were slightly surprised to hear "Detective Sherlock" say that "Mr. Gall" was a Beyonder, but they felt that there was nothing surprising about it.

"Sure enough, I had such a guess before." Odysseus pretended to say, and then he replied: "Know some knowledge about this path.

"What impressed me most was their 'evil sense' ability. As long as they were planning to put a 'devil' in danger, they could sense the threat."

To be exact, he came to Klein today because he was looking for the trace of a "devil".

In order to save time, Odysseus continued, "Is the person behind the scenes a 'devil' or an 'apostle of desire'?"

After hearing Mr. Gar's answer, Klein knew that this gentleman was more familiar with the "Devil". He replied, "It should be the 'Apostle of Desire'."

Then he said, "We are currently discussing how to hold back this 'Apostle of Desire', and then notify the official Beyonders waiting outside to eliminate him."

At this time, Isengard said: "Let us continue the conversation just now. The 'Apostle of Desire' can use and manipulate everyone's emotions and desires to induce them to fall.

"So when facing such an enemy, you must not have too strong emotional fluctuations, nor should you show too obvious desires, otherwise you will be immediately controlled by him remotely, or he will plant the seeds and detonate them at the critical moment."

Kaslana seemed to have figured out a lot of things: "So that's how it is."

Isengard took out his pipe, but did not fill it with tobacco: "I have fought against the 'Apostle of Desire' head-on, and witnessed his extraordinary ability to foresee danger, and initially figured out his strengths and weaknesses.

"Although the 'devil' can sense danger in advance, even a long time in advance, the flaw in this predictive ability is that he can only sense who the danger comes from and where it comes from, but has no way of knowing the specific details.

"That gives us an opportunity that we can exploit."

Kaslana immediately asked, "What opportunity?"

"I have a ring that comes from an out-of-control sequence 6 of the 'Reader' pathway." Isengard said very calmly: "It allows me to identify, see clearly, remember and simulate the extraordinary abilities I have seen.

"Of course, the stronger the extraordinary ability you face, the higher the probability of failure."

As he spoke, Isengard took out a bright and beautiful ring, which was inlaid with many tiny diamonds, which together surrounded a beautiful gem that was as green as a human eye.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

When the others saw this sealed object, they didn't think anything of it, but Klein, who was standing by, immediately recognized it: Isn't this the ring of the old man "Eye of Wisdom"? Is Esinger Stanton the "Eye of Wisdom"?

However, Klein used the power of "The Joker" to control his expression and didn't show any surprise.

Kaslana looked at the ring and asked with some envy, "What ability do you want to simulate to counter the 'Apostle of Desire''s foresight of danger?"

Isengard raised his lips: "The devil's ability to foresee danger."

The great detective was like a gray fox at this moment: "The first step, which is what we are doing, is to plan a plan that can actually harm the 'Apostle of Desire' and put it into action.

"The second step is that the 'Apostle of Desire' senses the danger and knows that it comes from us, from here.

"Step three. As a 'demon', he has some instincts that he cannot change. His first reaction is definitely to kill the danger. After all, even if the four of us were combined, we would hardly be able to kill him.

"Step 4. As long as he has such a thought, regardless of whether he puts it into action or not, the ability I simulated can detect the threat of the 'Apostle of Desire' and grasp his position."

Odysseus couldn't help but sigh: "This plan is amazing."

Klein also sighed in his heart: It's a godly operation!

Ai Xin glanced at the three people in front of him and smiled: "According to my judgment, he just led Stuart and others to lose control of their emotions. He must be hiding around. After all, the ability to remotely control other people's emotions must be limited by distance.

"As long as I determine his location, I can immediately notify the official Beyonders, and they will quickly block the corresponding area and surround it layer by layer."

Odysseus thought about it and of course he remembered where the "Apostle of Desire" was now.

In fact, as soon as the other party appeared, he could hold the "Apostle of Desire" back for more than ten seconds by himself.

Just when he thought of this, he stopped thinking further, because if he thought about it further, the "Apostle of Desire" would sense the danger that he could not solve, and thus he would not dare to take action.

Although he did not think further, while listening to Isengard telling his plan, Odysseus reached into his pocket and grabbed a corner of the "Space Array" secondary array drawn on a piece of cloth.

At this time, Klein said: "But the problem is, how do we notify the official Beyonders?

"If this cannot be completed within a few seconds, the 'Apostle of Desire' will escape."

Isengard took out a palm-sized golden object, which looked like a miniature telegraph machine, but it also had a speaker.

"This is a seal that allows my voice to be heard within a five-kilometer radius." Isengard smiled and said, "For this roundup, the Mechanical Heart, the Nightwatchers, and the military each sent a senior deacon or colonel, and two to three teams of Beyonders, all of whom were lying in ambush within a five-kilometer radius.

"I can use it to tell the Beyonders outside the location of the 'Apostle of Desire'."

Kaslana listened carefully and frowned slightly, saying, "Since there are official Beyonders, it seems that there is no need for you to cooperate with us."

Isengard carefully put on the gem ring and said sincerely: "In order not to alert the 'Apostle of Desire' in advance, the power in the area closest to us is blank. If the target is nearby, we need to help each other and try to delay him."

The great detective smiled and said, "It would be a bit difficult for the three of us to do this, but with Mr. Gal joining us, I believe it will be no problem to hold the opponent back for seven or eight seconds."

Klein thought for a moment and said, "I have no problem."

"I also hate the serial killer." Odysseus smiled and said, "My abilities are not good for direct combat, but I have a few abilities that are very suitable for delaying the opponent."

Kaslana also nodded and said, "Mr. Stanton, you don't need to explain so much. We will cooperate for our own sake."

"Haha, explanation is part of the plan, and reaching an agreement means the action is about to begin." After saying that, Isengard half closed his eyes.

The emerald green gem on the ring on his right hand flashed a faint blue light.

Suddenly, Isengard stood up abruptly: "He is here, upstairs."

Klein and the other three also stood up and ran towards the door.

Except for Odysseus, none of them had expected that the "Apostle of Desire" would be so bold as to watch their plans from upstairs!

At this moment, Kaslana's eyes suddenly turned red, and she clenched her right fist and hit Isengard's vest.

Klein and Isengard both immediately realized that the Apostle of Desire had planted the seeds of corruption in Kaslana's heart at some point in time.

But Kaslana was too close to Isengard and there was no time to dodge.

Bang!

Kaslana hit Isengard's back with her fist and body.

Snap!

Klein even heard the sound of bones breaking and watched Isengard fall to the ground.

Kaslana also fell to the ground, gasping for breath, as if she had lost all her strength.

Klein rushed to Isengard, half-knelt down, and tried to support him.

Isengard, who was lying there, shouted in pain: "Run away! Leave me alone!"

Klein showed a hesitant look on his face. Just as he was about to make a decision, he saw a sticky "liquid" flowing down from the ceiling and quickly condensing into a dark figure.

Odysseus, who had been watching everything, suddenly pulled out the sub-array of the "Space Array". When the array was half-expanded, he grabbed a grape leaf emitting pure light from it with his other handChapter 168: Resolving the Apostle of Desire in Advance

Chapter 168: Resolving the Apostle of Desire in Advance

At this time, in Klein's living room, Detective Isengard was seriously injured and could no longer fight.

The emotions of the female detective Kaslana, who was exploited by the "Apostle of Desire", erupted, and she used all her strength to attack Isengard, and she had lost her combat effectiveness.

Only Klein and Mr. Gar were left, and it was clear that they were no longer able to hold back the "Apostle of Desire."

The "Apostle of Desire" did not waste the situation he had worked so hard to create, and immediately came to the living room on the first floor. It was a dark figure, like a person wrapped in a black curtain, with only a pair of cold blue eyes exposed.

As soon as they saw him, Klein and Odysseus seemed to see the strongest emotions and desires of living beings: fear, anger, greed, jealousy, hunger, lust, and so on.

Odysseus, who had been keeping quiet and trying his best to control his thoughts, suddenly stepped forward and took out the grape leaf that was emitting pure light that he had just obtained as quickly as possible.

After seeing those blue eyes and the cold expression turning into fear, Odysseus knew that the knowledge he had obtained from the "Wilderness of Knowledge" was very accurate.

What he holds in his hand is very restrained "devil".

So before the "Apostle of Desire" escaped, Odysseus suddenly raised the grape leaf high and injected into it as much spiritual energy as possible.

Buzz~

Pure white light instantly spread throughout the living room. The light seemed to have substance, causing a soft "buzzing" sound to be heard by Klein and the others.

Odysseus was bathed in pure white light, which made him look very dazzling and sacred.

The moment Odysseus took out the grape leaves, the body of the "Apostle of Desire" quickly collapsed, turned into a sticky liquid, turned around and ran towards the window.

But when the pure white light filled the entire living room, the speed of the "Apostle of Desire" seemed to be greatly restricted and suddenly slowed down.

The pool of black liquid gradually solidified and turned into a human shape again.

The black human figure roared and struggled to crawl towards the window.

At this moment, a pure white, somewhat unreal sword formed in the air in the living room.

Under Odysseus's control, the sword fell and pierced the "Apostle of Desire" in the vest, nailing him to the ground.

The "Apostle of Desire" roared, and turned into liquid, then into a demon with two goat horns, complex mystical symbols all over his body, and a pair of wings, and then turned into an illusory black shadow.

But no matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free from the pure white sword.

Odysseus said to Klein and the others with some difficulty, "Quickly notify the official Beyonders. I can't hold on for much longer."

Although the "grape leaves" in his hand can restrain the "devil", it requires a lot of spirituality to maintain. Odysseus feels that his own spirituality may only last for ten seconds.

Klein and Isengard finally came to their senses. Klein quickly placed his hand on the wound on Isengard's back, and then with a wipe, the fracture of the spine was transferred to a rib.

This is the most amazing extraordinary ability of the "Magician": Damage Transfer.

When Klein saw Isengard was injured, he had already thought of a countermeasure: first pretend that there was no way out, let the "Apostle of Desire" show up, and then transfer Isengard's wound. In this way, he, Isengard and Mr. Gal, the three of them, could delay the "Apostle of Desire" for a while.

But Klein didn't expect that Mr. Gar was so powerful that he could hold down the "Apostle of Desire" by himself.

Almost at the same time, a vibrant green appeared on Isengard's ring, and his body was quickly enveloped by a faint light, and his wounds healed quickly.

This made both of them slightly stunned, and they almost spoke at the same time: "Can you heal?"

Then they quickly realized that this was not the time to care about this. Just now when Isengard was attacked, the miniature "telegraph" with a loudspeaker in his hand flew to the wall.

Klein used the agility of the "clown" to roll in front of the "telegraph", grabbed the seal, and threw it to Isengard.

The reason for doing this is that Eisinger did not mention the negative effects of the "telegraph" just now, so he did not dare to use it casually.

Isengard, whose wounds had healed, grabbed the "telegraph" and immediately injected spirituality: "He is in Sherlock's living room!"

There seemed to be echoes around: "He is in Sherlock's living room..."

Everyone within five kilometers heard this.

Then Isengard sat in the corner, the ring on his hand flashed golden light, and the great detective's ears suddenly closed by themselves.

The negative effect of this "transmitter" is that for a period of time after use, all sounds within five kilometers will penetrate into the user's ears.

Although Isengard simulated extraordinary abilities and "hypnotized" himself, making him think he was deaf.

But he still heard the noisy voice: "Go for support, in the living room!"

"Whose voice was that just now?"

"The price of bread has gone up again..."

"Remove the seal of 2-115!"

"Honey, we don't have enough money to go to Dipsy for the New Year this year..."

"The third squad closest to there, charge at full speed!"

"Who's in Sherlock's living room?"

"Hey, it's time for the kids to pay tuition..."

"What? Briquettes have gone up another quarterpenny? Good Lord, how shall we get through the winter?"

"…"

The noisy sound made Isengard try hard to fight his own irritability to avoid any problems with his condition.

The "Apostle of Desire" who was struggling on the ground sensed an opportunity. Two goat horns appeared on his head again, and his body suddenly grew to about three meters. His body was covered with mysterious symbols and patterns, and a pair of bat-like wings grew on his back.

Huh~

The goat horns on the head of the "Apostle of Desire" burned, and he used the method of burning his own potential to fight against the pure white light around him.

That "grape leaf" is indeed very powerful in restraining demons, but Odysseus, who uses the "grape leaf", is only at Sequence 7, and his own spiritual power is limited. Currently, he can only trap the "Apostle of Desire" and suppress his own abilities.

This is the limit of what Odysseus can achieve at present.

The "Apostle of Desire", who was 2 levels higher, tried his best and finally found a "gap" in the pure white light, which detonated Isengard's irritable mood.

The wisdom in the great detective's eyes suddenly disappeared. He looked at "Mr. Gal" who was exerting all his strength at this moment with a somewhat empty look, and raised his right hand wearing the jewel ring.

A black light emanated from the jewel ring, and an evil force attacked Odysseus's shadow.

This attack is not only aimed at the shadow. As long as the shadow is injured, the defenseless Odysseus will also be seriously injured.

Klein, who was standing by, noticed all of this. He injected his spirituality into the "Sun Brooch" and made a gesture of embracing the sun.

Suddenly, a thick beam of light fell between Isengard and Odysseus, and the evil aura disappeared instantly.

Klein's use of the "Sun Brooch" was equivalent to exposing himself in front of Isengard, because he bought this seal from the old man "Eye of Wisdom", the great detective Isengard.

But there is no time to care about so many things at this moment. All we need to do is to delay the "Apostle of Desire" for a few seconds, just a few seconds!

Isengard, who was sitting on the ground, immediately regained clarity and wisdom in his eyes. He seemed to realize what he had just done and quickly took off the ring.

At this time, Stuart and others outside saw white light in the living room for a while, then sunlight, and roars and shouts.

They thought it was the "mastermind" who was attacking the living room, so they immediately rushed in with guns drawn.

As soon as the door opened, they were all stunned. There was a soft, pure white light in the living room, which immediately reminded people of some of the purest and kindest people and things.

Then they saw the man bathed in holy light next to the sofa. His mask and black windbreaker seemed to have become very sacred.

And the huge creature struggling on the ground, is it a demon? Goat horns, a pair of wings, yes, that is the image of a demon in some legends.

Finally they saw Detective Sherlock who was on guard, Detective Isengard who was sitting on the ground, and female Detective Kaslana who was lying on the ground.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Suddenly, the eyes of two detectives became distracted and they pointed their guns at Odysseus.

Their surprise was taken advantage of by the "Apostles of Desire" on earth.

Klein noticed all this, bent over, flipped over a single sofa, and threw it at the detectives.

The detectives who were not affected by the "Apostle of Desire" quickly dodged, while the two detectives who were affected were blocked by the sofa and fell to the ground before they could shoot Odysseus.

Klein stepped forward and quickly closed the living room door.

At this moment, the pure white light in the living room suddenly dimmed, and the sword nailed to the heart of the "Apostle of Desire" also quickly shrank.

The next second, Odysseus fell to the ground, holding the "grape leaf" in his trembling hands.

His spiritual energy was basically exhausted, and he felt like he had lost all strength and didn't even want to move a finger.

Klein rushed over, staring at the "Apostle of Desire", protecting the weak "Mr. Gar".

The Apostle of Desire struggled to get up, and suddenly a light blue flame with a smell of sulfur ignited on his chest.

However, the wound showed no signs of healing, and dark red blood with a sulfur smell continued to flow out.

At the same time, the "Apostle of Desire" rushed to the window in a "demonized" manner.

Crash~

He no longer cared about his wounds at this moment, he broke the window and jumped out, escaping from here as fast as he could.

But the pure white sword just now greatly weakened the power of the "Apostle of Desire". He was temporarily unable to transform himself into the "incarnation of desire", that is, the form of viscous black liquid.

He could only escape in a "demonized" manner. Klein swiftly jumped out of the window, and with his speed, he was able to catch up closely.

After following for a few steps, Klein saw that the demon in front of him suddenly slowed down his pace and began to snore. He actually fell asleep while standing.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that official Beyonder support had arrived, so he stopped chasing and retreated to the living room while watching the battle.

Bang!

Captain Ikanser, whom Klein had met before, appeared in front of the Apostle of Desire. The classical flintlock in his hand fired a pure white bullet.

The bullet hit the Apostle of Desire in the head, blowing half of his head off.

The severe pain caused the "Apostle of Desire" to stop snoring. He trembled all over and struggled violently, as if he was about to wake up in the next second.

At this time, a middle-aged man in military uniform appeared at the corner of the street. He raised his hand and said, "No awakening allowed here!"

The struggling "Apostle of Desire" lowered his head again and began to snore.

At this time, more and more official extraordinary people came and blocked both ends of the street.

Klein also breathed a sigh of relief. This time, the Apostle of Desire would definitely not be able to escape.

Ikanser put away his flintlock and said to his subordinates, "Give me 2-115."

A captain handed Ikanser a golden metal armor glove, and Ikanser put it on with the help of his subordinates.

Then, the senior deacon and captain of the Mechanical Heart began to emit a light like the morning sun around his body.

Ikanser thought for a second or two, then suddenly took a big step forward, raised his hands and shouted, "Ha!"

A huge and heavy "Sword of Dawn" immediately appeared in his hand, and he slashed towards the "Apostle of Desire".

The huge sense of crisis made the "Apostle of Desire" show signs of awakening again, but the senior deacon of the "Night Watchers" in the darkness of the street was trying to fight with him.

The military's "ban" on "punishment knights" also remains in effect.

So even though the "Apostle of Desire" struggled hard, he was unable to wake up when the "Sword of Dawn" chopped his head in half.

Ikanser continued to exert his strength, completely chopping the "Apostle of Desire" in half!

Klein turned back and said to Odysseus and the others: "The 'Apostle of Desire' is dead."

Odysseus smiled. With so many people waiting outside, it would be really unfair if he didn't die.

He sat down on the sofa slowly, put the "grape leaves" into the "space array", folded the array, and put it in his pocket.

After doing all this, Odysseus seemed to have used up all his strength and slumped on the sofa, not wanting to move.

From the time he became an Extraordinary Person until now, it seemed that he had never been completely exhausted of his spiritual energy. If he had persisted for just one more second, it would have seriously affected his condition and even caused signs of him losing control.

At the same time, through the use of the "grape leaf" just now, he roughly understood that this thing that seemed like a magical item should actually be a very peculiar spiritual material.

Because the "Grape Leaf" does not have any extraordinary properties, it can only be used three times. It has been used once today and can be used twice more.

At this moment, the doorbell outside rang and the police came to inform the detectives outside that the "mastermind" had been shot dead and they could go home with peace of mind.

However, because they had just seen the battle between Odysseus and others, according to their beliefs, the corresponding official extraordinary people would sign a confidentiality agreement with them.

At the same time, Captain Ikanser appeared at the window: "Thanks to you for holding off the 'Apostle of Desire' for so long... Hey, why are you here?"

The captain was asking Odysseus, who was surprised to see "Mr. Gal" here
